I am always proud to show one of my heirloom quilts. My grandmother made this quilt around 1960 when she was about 70 years old. She hand drew each lady pattern on binder paper. Each dress and bonnet is needle turned applique, with hand attached trim. The ladies' hands, feet, and accessories are hand embroidered. The quilt was hand quilted on the frames which I also inherited. The quilt won ribbons at county and state fairs, then was given to my mom. Mom (now 94 yo) gave the quilt to me because I am the only one of her 4 daughters who actively quilts. Someday my DGD, shown in the picture, will inherit this masterpiece. For now it hangs on my sewing room wall (no direct sunlight) as my inspiration.
